I am not very knowledgable concerning shotguns, although I have owned a few. I currently have a Browning BSS-Sidelock, 20 ga. with 28" bbls. I have had this in the bacl of my gunsafe for over 10 yrs. and it is, in the box, unfired.

I know that these are fairly rare, but, I would be very interested in getting the opinions of the experienced double gunners on this forum as to the quality, value and so forth of this gun.

The BSS sidelocks are nice guns. I have a 12 ga and it compares favorably to my English gameguns. The finish is not the same qality, but the weight and balance are similar.

I am not very fond of the boxlocks.

Let me know if you plan on parting with the gun.

I would not mind selling it as I do not expect to ever use it. I have two combo guns which I hunt deer and grouse with, so, this one is just sitting there. I would prefer to sell it here in Canada due to the problems of sending guns to the USA and I am not interested in trades as I have too many guns now.
